Noah Nathanael Cummings




A fun little picture of the little one sucking his thumb. Though Shaughan's getting to the point where she's ready to be done with the pregnancy, we have to wait another three months before welcoming our little boy. Eva's so excited. She can't stop talking about baby Noah.

Dormant no more

So, to all of you who have been breathlessly waiting for blog updates for the last approximately 18 months---- you can breathe easy now. Shaughan has been let loose on our blog and is beginning to figure it out. Now that no one has to depend on me to post, I am sure updates will happen more frequently. But at what cost?

I have this hidden (but I guess it's not so hidden anymore) fear that Shaughan will become a blog addict, that each detail of our personal lives will be laid bare for the world to see, and she'll stay up until all hours of the night telling people about Eva's boogers. It's probably an irrational and unjustified fear, but that doesn't make it any less real. Thanks for your support and understanding during these next few months while Shaughan transitions into being a full-time mommy blogger.

Flower Girl

It's Shaughanie. We're back from the dead. I actually never knew how to blog...sad. But I am in DC visiting my sis, Jocelyn. And she is teaching me how to blog. Yes! Jocelyn married Zack Parks on Oct. 18. And Eva, as the only niece in either of their families, earned the grand distinction of being the flower girl. Here are some pics. Enjoy!
This is the rehearsal dinner. Really, it was just a huge pool party with In-N-Out food. After all, what was there to rehearse?
We "rehearsed" chasing Ev. But how is that different from any other day? My ever-helpful Michael kept track of our little bunny, which gave me time to meet Zack's fantastic family.
Daddy and the bunny hand-in-hand. We have so many pictures of her back because she's always on the move and knows exactly where she wants to go.
The mama with beauty baby Eva.
Family picture taken outside the Los Angeles temple. Look at what a great time Eva is having--even though she bruised her head. (The initial injury happened a few days before the wedding. We bought arnica cream to help the bruise go away quickly. It worked...but then she injured the same spot by falling on her noggin just before Joce and Zack exited the temple.)
Our gorgeous nephew, Cooper Campbell. He was my date at the wedding reception. We have a mutual crush. Michael was at the reception of course, but Cooper staked his claim. And really, who am I to complain?

This pic captures my favorite memory of the evening. Ev was only 15 months old, but shocked us by dancing the night away for four hours. She even joined Jocelyn and Zack during their first dance. Needless to say, it was a very romantic moment for the three of them! Whenever we tried to pick her up, she vehemently declined. She preferred to stay in the lights and flirt with the DJ's 13-year-old son. Where did this kid come from?

Stay tuned...more blogs to come. Jocelyn vows this will be the case even if she has to babysit my blogging efforts.

Short Bio

It seemed appropriate to include a short biographical sketch to start things off.

Shaughan and Michael Cummings are currently students at Brigham Young University in Provo, UT. Michael is a law student, while Shaughan is a joint JD/MPA student. We met during our first year of law school in the Fall of 2005 and were married on May 13, 2006 in Newport Beach, CA. Our darling daughter Eva joined us on July 2, 2007. Both of us are graduating in April of 2008, and Michael hopes to start a Management/Organizations PhD program in the Fall of 2009. In other words, we'll be in school for the rest of forever :)

Welcome to our little piece of cyberspace


It's a crazy time of year to start something like a blog (neither Shaughan nor Michael have ever done anything like this before) but we're hoping it kind of makes up for our likely failure to send out the obligatory Christmas letter. Finals start next week, then we'll each only have one semester before graduating from law school. Yay!!

We've included the (extended) Cummings Family picture with Michael's parents and siblings (the pleasant result of an uncomfortable and bitterly cold hour spent outside this last Sunday morning). One of these days we'll take a wintry picture with just the three of us.
